Filmmaker Stanley Long, whose cheap-and-cheerful soft-core sex romps saw him dubbed the "king of sexploitation", has died at the age of 78.
Mr Long's family said he died on Monday of natural causes in Buckinghamshire. The exact cause of death was not specified.
A producer, director and cinematographer, Long created movies with titles like Nudist Memories and The Wife Swappers before scoring his biggest success with Adventures of a Taxi Driver and other 1970s sex comedies.

The mix of bawdy humour and nudity in Adventures of a Taxi Driver was a hit. The film was sold to 36 countries and spawned two sequels.
Mr Long also set up the post-production company Salon, which has worked on big-budget movies including V for Vendetta and Batman Begins.
